Revolting
against a long train of appalling wrongs, 25,000 textile workers are on
strike in Lawrence, Mass. Men
and women, children even, are rebelling against a system of industrial
slavery unequaled in its horrors in any part of the world.

The
inhuman treatment and oppressive toil brought American, English, Irish,
German, French, Polish, Belgian, Bohemian, Lithuanian, Jewish, Spanish,
Portuguese, Syrian, Abyssinian, and Turkish workers together into one
big army of toilers, who have joined hands and hearts for a fight against
a brutal system of exploitation introduced in all the mills of Lawrence,
a system which the manufacturers of cotton and woolen textiles thought
of introducing in the mills everywhere.

The
outcries of protests by the aroused toilers everywhere tell us that the
whole working class is feeling the insults that the oppressors added to
the long train of injury and abuse. The
workers everywhere know that we are fighting, struggling, so that hundreds
of thousands of others, yes, millions, may share in the benefits of this
fierce revolt.

It
is your duty to help. Our duty will be done; a duty we owe to ourselves
and to the working class of the whole country.
